It's an escalation - if it's been in alert state for > 20 minutes, page engineer, unless it's been ack'd

This worked well for us with bb btf, but with hobbit, it works well unless you restart - like I said on restart, it act's like none of the alerts have been ack'd and instantly hitting all rules, instead of realizing that it was in an ack state, and none of the scripts need to be run

Are you expecting engineer to be emailed when noc isn't?  Is the
problem that engineer isn't being notified?

If so can you click the "info" icon for one of the hosts?  You should
see both email addresses.  Obviously the problem is with the second
SCRIPT or the collision of two SCRIPT commands.  Has anyone tested to
see if the second one is ever interpreted?

You may want to try this:

#begin
PAGE=%foodev/foocmt
 SCRIPT=/sw/xymon/server/scripts/briefEmailRegularImportance
noc at foo.com REPEAT=60 COLOR=red RECOVERED
PAGE=%foodev/foocmt
 SCRIPT=/sw/xymon/server/scripts/FullEmailRegularImportance
engineer at foo.com DURATION>20 REPEAT=60
#end

I can say this works for 100% certainty:

HOST=%.*\.imaginenetworksllc\.com
  MAIL 1231231234 at txt.att.net COLOR=RED DURATION>2m REPEAT=60
RECOVERED FORMAT=SMS

HOST=*
  MAIL josh at imaginenetworksllc.com COLOR=RED DURATION>2m REPEAT=60 RECOVERED
